Our take

CleanPlate review

Sago and peanut fasting mix, fried and sweetened

Let's Try Sabudana Falhari Mixture is a fasting snack of sabudana (38%), peanuts (15%), groundnut oil, sugar, potato flakes (12%), coconut, raisins, rock salt and spices. The pack is 192 g (the back may read 214 g) and the panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 5.99 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by sabudana, peanut and edible vegetable oil), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from calories (521 kcal per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.12 g per 100 g).

Use a spoonful over curd or fruit rather than a bowl.

Roast your own

Dry-roasted peanuts with a pinch of rock salt give protein without the fried sago.
